The death of a retired police officer whose head became trapped between the rails and mattress of his hospital bed was an "avoidable accident", a coroner has concluded.
Max Dingle, 83, died 15 minutes after he was found "entrapped" on a ward at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on May 3, 2020.
Concluding an inquest into Surrey-born Mr Dingle's death, a senior coroner found resuscitation had not been attempted despite the pensioner electing for life-saving intervention and having a pulse when he was found.
